Rolando McClain on Peyton Manning: ‘He’s just amazing’
"“He’s just amazing. As a kid I watched always Peyton Manning and the Colts and I never played him. Then you get in the NFL and you’re like, ‘Does he really make this many checks?’ He does. It’s crazy. I was amazed. He’s an amazing player.”"

"“Not to be cocky or talking mess, but if you’re an athlete or you’re a competitor, why would you stand down for anybody?” Richardson said. “I know Ray Lewis is going to come at me and I’m going to come right back at him.

But I would say Mr. [DeMeco] Ryans, it looks like he is stepping up right now,” said Dawkins."
Ravens: Courtney Upshaw eager to face former teammate Trent Richardson
"“He’s a phenomenal back,” Upshaw said. “He definitely fits their running style. From watching film and playing with him, he’s a hard runner. You just have to gang tackle him. He’ll look to get one or two yards if nothing’s there so you have to get to him."
